BOSTON SCIENTIFIC CORP 8-K Report, Corporate Update (Apr 4, 2024)
Boston Scientific Corporation (BSX) has filed an 8-K to disclose that both the Company and Axonics, Inc. received a "Second Request" from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) on April 3, 2024. This request is in connection with the FTC's ongoing review of the proposed merger between Boston Scientific and Axonics, originally announced on January 8, 2024. The issuance of the Second Request extends the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act (HSR Act). The waiting period will now remain in effect until 30 days after both parties have substantially complied with the FTC's information requests, unless terminated earlier or further extended. Boston Scientific and Axonics expect to respond promptly and cooperate fully with the FTC. Consequently, the closing of the merger is now anticipated in the second half of 2024, a shift from previous expectations. This delay is subject to the HSR Act waiting period and other customary closing conditions. Investors should monitor the progress of the FTC's review and the Company's subsequent disclosures regarding the merger's completion timeline and any potential impact on strategic integration.
